After reading a little bit, I feel like I haven't read any books, which is a shame. The metaphors in it are quite wonderful.

The translations in some foreign languages are different from today's, but it does not affect reading. After reading it, I feel like the author's self-analysis, some of the ideas are good, and it is also like watching the confusion of the elders when they were young, and the pull between ideals and reality. There is also a description of alcohol addiction. For the first time, I understand why alcohol is addictive.
